Lance Stroll has said his previous achievements in motor racing has led to it being just “a matter of time” before he started to collect points for Williams.

The Canadian rookie had a rocky start to his Formula 1 career with three retirements in his first races, bolstering the argument that he was not good enough to compete and only had a seat because of his billionaire father’s fortune.

While doubts about Stroll’s ability still linger, he has shown big signs of improvement as he followed up a first points haul in his home race in Montreal with a shock podium finish in Baku.
